It appears that I sent out my newsletter too early because I now have a new favorite story of the month. In school today right before worship, Ben Armstrong, one of our leaders, invited two fellow classmates to go up front while he told a testimony. On Friday night all three of them flew to New York. Why you ask? This is so cool. Buckle your seat belts. 13 weeks ago someone there overdosed on drugs (I don't remember his name, Steve maybe, and they never did say how they knew the person). When this person who shall be called Steve overdosed his brother was there. Steve was dead, not breathing, the whole bit. His brother prayed and he started breathing again, but he was in a vegetative coma state (Holy hole in the donut, raised him from the dead though). So, someone from New York paid for three plane tickets to fly Ben and my two classmates to NY this past weekend. They flew all of Friday night and then spent 10 hours with Steve on Saturday. When they arrived at the hospital Steve was still in a coma, had a trach in his throat, and a feeding tube in his stomach. The one classmate played guitar all day and they just sang over him. At one point during the day Steve opened his eyes and would widen them to say "Yes". Ben asked him if he was having dreams of God and he said yes (with his eyes). They continue to sing and pray over him. Steve began to cry. The doctor on the case said this was amazing and that tears were a really good sign because his brain was understanding conversation for the first time since the coma. Ben told him that they loved him. Steve actually mouthed "I love you". By the end of the 10 hours, the doctor said his condition had improved so much that they were going to take him out of the ICU and put him in a regular recovery room. PRAISE GOD!
Eichhorn family, if you're reading this, this is a testimony for the new little one! God can restore anything and everything!
